@ -215,3 +215,29 @@ following flags are defined:
|
|||
This flag causes nfsd to close any open files for this inode _before_
|
||||
calling into the vfs to do an unlink or a rename that would replace
|
||||
an existing file.
|
||||
|
||||
EXPORT_OP_REMOTE_FS - Backing storage for this filesystem is remote
|
||||
PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE exists for loopback NFSD, where a thread needs to
|
||||
write to one bdi (the final bdi) in order to free up writes queued
|
||||
to another bdi (the client bdi). Such threads get a private balance
|
||||
of dirty pages so that dirty pages for the client bdi do not imact
|
||||
the daemon writing to the final bdi. For filesystems whose durable
|
||||
storage is not local (such as exported NFS filesystems), this
|
||||
constraint has negative consequences. EXPORT_OP_REMOTE_FS enables
|
||||
an export to disable writeback throttling.
|
||||
|
||||
EXPORT_OP_NOATOMIC_ATTR - Filesystem does not update attributes atomically
|
||||
EXPORT_OP_NOATOMIC_ATTR indicates that the exported filesystem
|
||||
cannot provide the semantics required by the "atomic" boolean in
|
||||
NFSv4's change_info4. This boolean indicates to a client whether the
|
||||
returned before and after change attributes were obtained atomically
|
||||
with the respect to the requested metadata operation (UNLINK,
|
||||
OPEN/CREATE, MKDIR, etc).
|
||||
|
||||
EXPORT_OP_FLUSH_ON_CLOSE - Filesystem flushes file data on close(2)
|
||||
On most filesystems, inodes can remain under writeback after the
|
||||
file is closed. NFSD relies on client activity or local flusher
|
||||
threads to handle writeback. Certain filesystems, such as NFS, flush
|
||||
all of an inode's dirty data on last close. Exports that behave this
|
||||
way should set EXPORT_OP_FLUSH_ON_CLOSE so that NFSD knows to skip
|
||||
waiting for writeback when closing such files.
